I've heard there was a secret chord
C Am
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
F G C G
But you don't really care for music, do you?
C F G
Well it goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
Am F
The minor fall and the major lift
G/B Em7 Am
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
F Am
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
F C G C G
Hallelujah, Hallelu-uuu-uujah
C Am
Your faith was strong but you needed proof
C Am
You saw her bathing on the roof
F G C G
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
C F G
She tied you to a kitchen chair
Am F
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
G/B Em7 Am
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
F Am
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
F C G C G
Hallelujah, Hallelu-uuu-uujah
C Am
Baby I've been here before
C Am
I know this room, I've walked this floor
F G C G
I used to live alone before I knew you.
C F G
I've seen your flag on the Marble Arch
Am F
But love is not a victory march
G/B Em7 Am
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
F Am
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
F C G C G
Hallelujah, Hallelu-uuu-uujah
C Am
There was a time you let me know
C Am
What's really going on below,
F G C G
But now you never show it to me, do you?
C F G
I remember when I moved in you,
Am F
And the holy dove was moving too,
G/B Em7 Am
and every breath we drew was Hallelujah.
F Am
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
F C G C G
Hallelujah, Hallelu-uuu-uujah
C Am
Now, maybe there's a God above,
C Am
As for me, all I ever learned from love
F G C G
Is how to shoot at someone who outdrew you.
C F G
It's no complaint you hear tonight,
Am F
It's not some pilgrim who's seen the light
G/B Em7 Am
It's a cold and it's a very lonely Hallelujah.
F Am
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
F C G C G
Hallelujah, Hallelu-uuu-uujah
